Chinchilla Facts about When They Originately
Came From
Do you want to know some fun facts about chinchillas? Children love them
and they do make great pets.
Chinchillas originate in the rocky and mountainous environment in the
barren area of the Andes Mountains well over 12,000 feet in both Chile and
Peru. In order to cope with the cold in that area of the Andes they have
developed dense fur and the pads on their feet are fleshy and hairless in
order to allow them to have the ability to walk along the rocks of the
mountains. The red blood cells of these rodents carry more oxygen than
other rodents or rabbits do. This enables them to live in these high altitudes
as at these heights there is less oxygen in the air.
